Additional Notes
Mad Truth is Casey Soma's organisation. A multimedia art project centered around the power of creative expression for improving mental health and promoting personal growth. The idea being, creative expression can be used as a remarkable tool for re-framing tragedy, trauma and mental illness in a way where these things no longer keep us from becoming our best selves but instead they can become a source of beauty, strength and resilience.
